17.6.4 Other miscellaneous functions

Graph panes require a function which is used to plot information, called the children function. The value of the ROOTS attribute of a graph is passed as an argument to the children function in order to start the plot. The example interface uses the following simple children function. You already defined this if you have followed the example, but add it also in
ib-callbacks.lisp
:

(defun children-function (x)

(when (< x 8)

(list (* x 2) (1+ (* x 2)))))

Note:
The ROOTS attribute of a graph pane has a default value of
(1)
. This is generated automatically by the Interface Builder.

Finally, the function
test-ib-example
is used to create an instance of the example interface.
